Or youtube 'Paris Is Burning' or 'Dusk Til Dawn'

She's another female aspie, hence the relevence to this board.

Got her album this week. 'Paris is burning' is a great single but the other tracks just sound quite ordinary to me, I was expecting much more.
Where did you hear/read she has asperger's?

There was an article in the Guardian a few weeks ago - an interview with her where she talked about it.

I went to see her last night, she was absolutely incredible. Wasn't sure what to expect, but she surpassed my expectations by miles, one of the best I've seen in a long time. And definitely aspergers the way she kinda shuffled on and had her head down and avoided looking at the crowd like mad! She was so little and sweet and friendly.

I love the album though, give it a few listens, it's a real grower (which in my experience tend to be the best records).

wow, so she played all the instruments?
just listened to some of the available songs on youtube, sounds very nice. Thx LeKiwi

She reminds me of someone.

She played the guitar and a micro-korg, but she does play about 11 instruments as far as I remember. She had a live band with her - well, a bassist, another guitarist, and a drummer.

11instruments

sometimes it sounds too eighties, but it's slowly growing on me, right now Dusk 'til dawn is my fave (:

It's definitely a grower - I wasn't sure on a few songs at first, but now there's not a single one I don't like and I've had to turn it off thanks to that Aspie tendency towards playing things on repeat for weeks on end and driving flatmates mad! I always find the albums that grow on you tend to be the ones that last the test of time, though, so I'm happy it turned out that way.

lol, I was playing the songs at work and repeating them, but had to restrain myself from doing that since I wasn't alone

I've listened to the album 28 times in four days... woops.

I like Back of the Van. Crazy 80s style music vid

sooooooooo cheesy it's cool


and I thought I was crazy when I recorded 3 songs from u2's zooropa and listened to them for a month
thank God I had headphones so no one complained

BTW I'm currently putting her disc at work, mixes and everything
Magic rules!

Me toooooo. Dammit. 268 plays since Wednesday. Woops.

Lol, might have to turn my scrobbler off... methinks it's turning a bit into a giveaway of the 'spot the obsessive aspergian' kind!

great minds think alike *wink*

BTW, by scrobbler I assume it's the last.fm thingie. Do you find it useful?
Honestly I never found it interesting or remotely useful so I uninstalled it a loong time ago...
